The International Society for the History of Rhetoric
The purpose of the International Society for the History of Rhetoric is to promote study of the theory and practice of rhetoric in all periods and languages. The Society fosters inquiry into the relationship of rhetoric to poetics, literary theory and criticism, philosophy, politics, religion, law, and other aspects of the cultural context.
The Society was founded in 1977 and has since held biennial congresses in Europe and North America. Currently about thirty different countries are represented in the Society's membership, and this international scope is reflected in society governance. In connection with its activities and publications, the Society recognizes English, German, Italian, Latin, and Spanish as its official languages.
Membership in the Society is open to all individuals who subscribe to its aims. Membership includes receiving the Society's journal,
Rhetorica, as well as its semi-annual,
Rhetoric Newsletter.
